    Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading, Conclusion

  • 10/29/2018

    Summary

    This is a CPU that sits near the bottom of most of our charts. It is also a CPU that is only $117, or less than most motherboards, sticks of ECC memory, network cards, drives, and even the chassis one would use with the CPU for a server. There are cases w...

    Summary

    Intel's Core i3-8100 offers four physical cores for a mere ~$120, which is a tremendous value compared to the previous generation Intel models. We'll be even more impressed when reasonably priced B350 motherboards come to market. $128.59...

    Pros

    The Core i38350K overclocks well and does great on gaming loads

    Cons

    Respective to the rest of the lineup and Ryzen competition, the 8350K is almost off in no man's land, We'd rather pay a little bit more for a much better i58400. Intel's platform is expensive (for now) and the 8350K exacerbates the issue with no box coo...

  • 10/06/2017

    Summary

    If you are on a tight budget and haven't upgraded your CPU in a few generations, the Core i3 8100 is a very competent offering at around $120 USD. This 3.6GHz quad-core CPU performed very well in our tests: almost always faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X, gen...
